client-server lprng setup broken

[Henry Hollenberg <hgh@rcwm.com>]

Hey gang,

I've had this setup working fine for about a year and a half and
now it's acting up.

I have a network printer HP4600 running lpd internally and a central
mail server running woody and lprng:

printcap:
##LPRNGTOOL## REMOTE POSTSCRIPT 600x600 letter {} PostScript Default {}
lp|PostScript|HP4600 Color LaserJet
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp
:sh
:mx=0
:af=/var/spool/lpd/lp/acct
:ml=0
:lf=/var/spool/lpd/lp/log
:cd=/var/spool/lpd/lp/
:lp=raw@color.rcwm.com
:if=/usr/share/lprngtool/master-filter
:

##LPRNGTOOL## REMOTE TEXT NAxNA letter {} TextPrinter Default {}
lp0|PlainText|HP4600 Color LaserJet
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp0
:sh
:ml=0
:mx=0
:af=/var/spool/lpd/lp0/acct
:lf=/var/spool/lpd/lp0/log
:cd=/var/spool/lpd/lp0
:lp=text@color.rcwm.com
:if=/usr/share/lprngtool/master-filter
:

These were set up with lprngtool.

I have clients pointing to the central mail server (mail) and
their printcap looks like this:

##LPRNGTOOL## REMOTE POSTSCRIPT 600x600 letter {} PostScript Default {}
lp|PostScript|HP4600 Color LaserJet
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp
:sh
:ml=0
:mx=0
:af=/var/spool/lpd/lp/acct
:lf=/var/spool/lpd/lp/log
:cd=/var/spool/lpd/lp
:lp=lp@mail.rcwm.com
:if=/usr/share/lprngtool/master-filter
:

##LPRNGTOOL## REMOTE TEXT NAxNA letter {} TextPrinter Default {}
lp0|PlainText|HP4600 Color LaserJet
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp0
:sh
:ml=0
:mx=0
:af=/var/spool/lpd/lp0/acct
:lf=/var/spool/lpd/lp0/log
:cd=/var/spool/lpd/lp0
:lp=lp0@mail.rcwm.com
:if=/usr/share/lprngtool/master-filter
:


I fixed broken mail in the past by tweaking /etc/lprng/lpd.perms
commenting out the line:
REJECT NOT SERVER

I have now modified the file to read:

ACCEPT SERVICE=*
DEFAULT ACCEPT


And still no printing from remote clients.

Printing the test page from the server mail.rcwm.com works.

I can follow the job thru the que.  And it appears to be
attempting to send the job to the printer over and over
again until it errors out like so:

hgh@mail:~$ lpq
Printer: lp@mail 'HP4600 Color LaserJet' (dest raw@color.rcwm.com)

HELP!

Thanks in advance.
